Andrea Brillantes claps back at plastic surgery allegations: 'Pretty since day one baby'
Gen Z star Andrea Brillantes has set the record straight on rumors and accusations of her undergoing plastic surgery.
This came after a TikTok user claimed that she allegedly had gone under the knife.
"Baka ginawa ni doc?" the user wrote.
In response, Brillantes posted a video of herself as a child and wrote, "My face card at nine years old."
"Pretty since day one baby. Pretty with or without enchantments," she added.

This is not the first time that Andrea had addressed previous plastic surgery allegations.
In 2022, she got candid in her "Reading Your Assumptions About Me" vlog, in which she thanked some users who assumed that she had undergone plastic surgery.
"Hindi po ako retokada, pero thanks for thinking that. Ibig sabihin may maganda sa mukha ko para maisip niyo na retokada ako," she said.
At the time, she also clarified that she never had a nose job.
"Kung titignan niyo rin naman yung mga baby pictures ko, kung iisipin niyo na peke yung ilong ko...kasi tumubo lang itong bridge ko noong Kadenang Ginto," Andrea shared.
"Kasi manas na manas yung mukha ko dati. Doon ako nagsimulang pumayat. Tsaka nagma-mature kasi talaga ang mukha. At saka ang ilong, hindi yan tumitigil lumaki sa mukha ng isang tao," she continued.
Andrea was hailed as this year's "Most Beautiful Girl in 2024" by the UK-based TC Candler and the Independent Critics.
In an interview with TV Patrol on Sunday, Dec. 29, the Kadenang Ginto star talked about what the title means to her.
"Napakalaking honor po, thank you so much sa TC Candler. This isn't just about beauty, it is about confidence and uniqueness and embracing who you are. Sana ma-inspire kayo to celebrate your own kind of beauty," she said.
Alongside Brillantes, other Filipinas made it to this year's list including Janine Gutierrez (28th), Liza Soberano (31st), Belle Mariano (52nd), Ivana Alawi (69th), UNIS' Gehlee Dangca (82nd) and BINI's Aiah Arceta (88th).
Meanwhile, HORI7ON's Kyler Chua (21st) and SB19's Justin De Dios (41st) are the only Filipinos in TC's 'Most Handsome Faces of 2024.' This is Kyler's second time on the list after ranking 27th in 2023, while Justin's first time on the list.
